Perceptions of corruption in the UK are at an all-time high and the UK's lead prosecutor of economic crime has been dogged by scandals in recent years, but change is on the horizon. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 ("ECCTA") is a gamechanger, giving the UK enforcement agencies new impetus to investigate and prosecute fraud. This is likely to lead to a significant uptick in enforcement activity in the UK, with wider ramifications for the aerospace and defense industry sector.
